Dear Stata-lister
My thanks for Ernest Berkhout for his suggestion below. I have checked the
discussion on the Statalist archive of last week, but I am not sure whether
it is worth it to create four graphs to be two-way-overlayed. To recap, my
query was on how to impose the "value" of the median in/out/alongside its
boxplot.
This maybe too simplistic but would the following be a solution IFF "twoway"
would include "box" as a plot-type - consider a continuous variable X, has 3
medians
(=100, 150, 200) for 3 different sites (=1,2,3), respectively.
#delimit ;
twoway box X , over(site, total) ytitle(" ") ylabel( , grid) title(" ")
subtitle(" ") note(" ", span) | | ,
text ( 1, 100 "100" , place(e))
text ( 2, 150 "150" , place(e))
text ( 3, 150 "200" , place(e)) ;
#delimit cr
Many thanks in advance for your thoughts and assistance.
Amani

You could do that if you would create the boxplot yourself by using 4
twoway-overlayed graphics. See the discussion on boxplots that was on
Statalist last wednesday/thursday.
